In all fairness, most front porches I've seen aren't quite the same as being fully inside the house. Usually the front porch is of highly different construction, and has little more than a flimsy screen door in front of it. The house proper is usually sealed up a bit more securely while the front porch remains unlocked. So since the article made no mention of it, I don't think they truly got 'inside' the house proper.CaptainChewbacca wrote:No, it says they were on his front porch rummaging through his belongings.

My thinking was, if you didn't have access to the house there would be absolutely no point in congregating on the front porch when you were ransacking the barn.Oni Koneko Damien wrote:In all fairness, most front porches I've seen aren't quite the same as being fully inside the house.

Yes, you're right, I should have said some people. Still, the looting mentality is seen quite often, and not precisely by those in dire need of it.Molyneux wrote: To put it into a little better perspective, you might want to remember that a lot of people probably saw the ad, lived close enough that they could have tried to take his stuff, but didn't.
